Henry: Have you ever tried Indian food? It’s     1     spicy, but I think it’s delicious.
Susanne: No, I haven’t. Is it     2     Chinese food?
Henry: No, it’s completely different. One of my favourite dishes is Biryani. It’s     3     rice dish with chicken or lamb that you eat with a vegetable curry.
Susanne: Hmm, that sounds tasty, but isn’t Indian food     4     boring? It’s all rice and curries, isn’t it?
Henry: Not at all, there are a lot of vegetable dishes and Indians like eating fried chicken too. It’s just     5     the fried chicken you can get here.
Susanne: Well, I like fried chicken, so I guess I would definitely like that. But don’t Indians also eat     6     cabbage and ginger thing?
Henry: Cabbage and ginger thing? Do you mean kimchi?
Susanne: Yes, it’s     7     hot, isn’t it?
Henry: Yes, you’re right, but kimchi isn’t an Indian dish. It’s Korean!

Researchers say American children now eat an average of three snacks a day between meals. A study found that those snacks add up to almost one third of all the daily calories eaten by children. And those extra calories could help 1 the rise in overweight children in the United States.

The study was done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The researchers studied the diets of thirty-one thousand children ages two to eighteen over a thirty-year period. They found that snacking has increased since the nineteen seventies. And what kinds of snacks have increased the most? Salty, high-fat foods like chips. The study also found greater snacking on cake, cookies and other treats that past 2 might have saved for after dinner.

The study is in the journal Health Affairs. Nutrition professor Barry Popkin was one of the lead 3 . He says parents should 4 snacks to one a day for children age six and older. He also advises parents and 5 to provide healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables.

Professor Popkin says American schools also need to improve their nutrition. For example, schools may have vending machines (自动售贩机) that offer what many people would consider junk food. There has been a(n) 6 for schools to offer more healthful snacks and lunch choices and fewer sugary drinks.

Earlier this month Coca-cola said it would stop selling sugary drinks in American schools unless parents 7 them. Its competitors at Pepsi just announced that they will stop sales of sugared drinks to schools 8 .

America’s top public health officer wants to see more changes like this. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin recently spoke to lawmakers about making healthy foods more 9 . “There is a growing agreement that we as a nation need to recreate our communities and environments where 10 choices are easy choices and affordable choices.”

Eating a calorie-rich diet brought us humans a great advantage: time. We spent less of the day obtaining food. We saved countless hours of needless chewing. Instead, we invested time in doing the things that make us human: we started to 1 tools, erect structures, share stories, create myths and play games.

Calories made humanity possible. Calories are what 2 our big brains. Our calorie-rich diet didn’t reinforce the compulsion to eat, it released us from a food-gripped existence. Just because we require calories does not mean our basic 3 compels us to over-consume them, for the same reason that requiring oxygen does not compel us to perpetually hyperventilate. Yes, it may be 4 to carry extra calories in time of famine, but this assumes an overly simplistic view of our evolutionary past.

Out there in nature, carrying extra body weight brings serious, even deadly, disadvantages. To the evolving primate, greater body mass means slower acceleration and a(n) 5 in the ability to change speed and direction quickly. Back when we were prey—when our ancestors were 6 eaten by big cats, pythons and even eagles—our ability to nimbly start, stop and turn was crucial for survival. To a predator, a fat human was not only easier to spot and easier to catch, it made for a bigger, better meal. To the prey we hunted, a fat human was easier to evade and outrun. Carrying too much fat also increases the 7 of injury and death due to the forces and loads involved in maintaining a larger body. To put it in the simple arithmetic of evolutionary fitness, being 8 fat didn’t increases an individual’s chances of passing on their genes. It actually reduced them.

As we became more 9 there were even more reasons to refrain from overindulgence. Food had to be shared with other members of the tribe, then the village, then the town, especially with children, whose dependence on adults for resources lasts an eternity compared with other species. Otherwise, the human species would have died off long ago, if we really were slaves to a never-ceasing 10 for calories.

All of these have left us with the following paradox: Why were humans generally able to resist vastly over-consuming calories up until about fifty years ago?

Quoted from Mark Schatzker’s The End of Craving

In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth quality-- independent will--- that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in 1 with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the programme we have developed through the other three qualities.

The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has 2 unbelievable difficulties. Helen Keller's independent will gives dramatic 3 to the value, the power of the independent will.

But as we examine this quality in the 4 of effective self-management, we realize it's usually not the dramatic, the visible, the one-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的) 5 that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.

The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is 6 by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we 7 on ourselves. It's our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to "walk our talk". Effective management is putting first things first. While 8 decides what "first things" are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.

Discipline 9 from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的) purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.

In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from 10 ; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.

【推荐2】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. equipment；B. exposing；C. entertainment；D. interact；E. reality；F. eventually

Most people associate virtual reality with the world of gaming or 1 . What is all the fuss, you may wonder, about futuristic equipment you wear on your head that makes you look like a creature from Star Wars? But this emerging technology has been spreading rapidly into many other areas and could eventually change your life in the future.

Virtual reality, or VR, is a computer-generated technology that creates a three-dimensional digital world that you can not only see and observe, but explore and 2 with it as if you are there. Once you put on the special 3 —a helmet or goggles with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors—you become absorbed in the 4 world.

VR now has serious 5 in fields as wide-ranging as business and medicine. VR has already 6 effective as a training tool as it simulates real experiences. One simulation programme educates young drivers about the dangers of bad driving. Participants experience a dangerous car journey and a virtual accident. It is now being used to train surgeons. Connor Pierce of Samsung’s IT for UK and Ireland thinks it will make a difference on all walks of life: “We’ll socialize via VR, we will do business via VR, we’ll have VR team-meetings, we’ll have VR education, museums will have virtual 7 experiences ...”. Its benefits have been felt in the field of psychology and the treatment of mental health patients. Professor Daniel Freeman at the Warnford Hospital in Oxford uses it to treat vertigo and other anxiety disorders. He explains that by 8 patients to what they fear most in a virtual environment and showing them that nothing bad happens, they can eventually overcome their panic.

In the world of work too, VR may change our lives 9 . Working individually at home, we can connect to our colleagues in a virtual space. We can be at home and at the office at the same time. For the first time, we can really be in two places at once.

Some VR developers predict that the impact of VR could be as 10 as the internet or mobile phones. Google alone has sold 2 million cardboard VR headsets in the last two years. Is a new age of reality about to dawn?
